recovery OF his eyesight as follows: Il

Awe-stricken. the wedding revelers
cleared the floor OF the dance hall.
There were rapid questionings and ag-
itated replies: there were groans here
and there and sobs half suppressed.
Then there was Il silence as Of the
|sephulchre in the garish house.
Through this silence stole the first
weird notes of BardineIli' Dance of
Death.
No one looked at the musician; ev-
|ery eye was fastened on the bride.
She lay upon the wine-velvet of the
sdivan, white and rigid; about her
tralied the satin and lace and orange
flowers other bridal attire.
Bardinelli' s violin was giving forth
quicker strains. So fantastic were the
chords. now plaintive and imploring,
now full. of a mad energy, anon
dropping into fathomless depths
Iof pathos. it seemed as though the
player were improyising the airs, tell
ing to the still figure upon the couch
the tale of q life noble in its dreams
and aspirations, tragic in It's failures.
Yet through the wondrous harmonv
dropped ever, clear and pure as q
shower of pearls, the notes OF the
rhythmic tarantella waltz.
The call to movement reached the
locked senses of the dreamer. She
moved; she arose to her feet; she
glided over the floor. Her movements
were as rhy thmic as we're the strains
OF Bardinelli's violin. they were those
Of the Graces. Her face was the frozen

TRANSLATED BY M. MICHEL cHEvALIER.

Like to the willow trees green, are the tran
sient pomps of our life-time;.
They, if they live to be old, meet their end
in the fame that devours them,
Else are they hewn by the ak, or upturned
by the blast of the tempest
Saddened are we, and bowed down by age
and corruption approaching:
All things on earth pass away, pre-destined
to fade and to perish,
So, in the height of enjoyment, there cometh
Implying weakness,
Suddenly Selling upon them, until in the
dust they are fallen.
Allthe round earth is a tomb, and of all that
doth live on its surface,
Nought is there born or upreared but what
to the dust is returning!
Glories of monarchs and victors all vanish to
nothing together.
Fen as the threatening smoke from the era
ter of Popocatepell.
Earliest and latest of men all alike in earth's
bosom are mingled
Yet let us stand, o friends, sustained by a
confident courage!
Let us aspire unto heaven where all is un
changed and eternal:
Everything there liveth on, and defeth ap
proach of corruption.
Even the tomb, with its woe, is only the
suns lowly cradle,
And sorrowful shadows of death are but stars
for the sky in its glory!

CHINESE DEVILS.
The Noisy Rites by Which the Priests
Drive or the Bad Spirits.

Drive on the Bad Spirits.
Recently, says the San Francisco CAL,
persons passing down Washington street
had their ears saluted by the strange and
discordant noises which usually an
nounce the performance of Chinese re-
ligious ceremony. On Waverley place
there were three Chinese priests in large,
red flannel gowns, with gaudy gold en-
broideries, who had come out of the
large josshouse on that thoroughfare.
They, with band of music, move to a
wash-house at the end of the block,
which was currently reported to be in
tested by internal foes. The red-robed
Celestials entered, and with all due gray
ity commenced to cast the devils out.
The chief characteristic of the ceremony
was the noise, which was literally pro-
vided by the orchestra of cymbals, flies,
fiddles and drums, and If it has the same
effect upon satanic visitants as on Amer
lean barbarians its efficacy must needs
be great. The ceremony was nearly an
hour long, and at its conclusion one of
the priests posted up against the doors
and windows of the house a number of
notices on red and yellow paper, the
sight of which is said to so terrify the
exercised demons that they make no fur
Their disturbance.

THE TREACHEROUS MAID.
All Arranged for the Murder of Her Nj

All Arranged for the Murder of Her Mis-
tress When the Police stepped in.
A few days ago a lady moving in good So
ciety in Paris and occupying an apartment in
one Of the most fashionable streets in the
Champs Elysees quarter received the visit of
a police official, who informed her that at
eleven o'clock that evening she was to be
murdered and her rooms plundered. She
laughed at the idea, and the more so when
the inspector proceeded to ask her for par
ticulars about her servants. Her butler had
been for many years in her employment, her
cook the same, and so forth. Her own maid,
who had come last, had been eight years with
her and thoroughly enjoyed her confidence.
Yet, to her amazement the official explained
that this very woman was the accomplice o.
her would-be assassin.
AT last the lady was induced to listen to
the voice of reason, and measures were ar
ranged accordingly; though she felt con-
WINGED that there was no ground for alarm.
What was her surprise when, punCtually at
eleven o'clock p NJ, after the butler and all
the women, except the maid, had gone up
stairs for the night q ring was heard at her
door. The maid opened it and told her mis-
tress that a man wished to see her on partic-
ular and urgent business. The lady replied
that she could not see him at that late hour,
but the maid returned with the message that
the unknown visitor insisted on an inter-
view. "And look, madame" she trium-
phantly exclaimed, che is coming inn' The
man entered the room and was advancing in
threatening attitude toward the lady, when
the inspector and two policemen, who had
been cleverly concealed, pounced upon him
and took the burglar and the maid off in
their custody.
The officers had been admitted by the lady
unknown to the servants a short time before.
Thep had been discovered by policeman
on his beat, who overheard conversation
between the burglar and the maid in a
neighboring street and followed the latter to
the house. The man was already known to
the police as a dangerous criminal. But for
the accidental discovery the lady would have
been murdered without any one interfering
on her behalf. The burglar and the SER
want have made a full confession.-London

that is actually on the boil. Change the eggs
into it and Instantly extinguish the spirit
lamp beneath or take from the fire. Cover
the vessel closely and wrap thick cloth
about it to keep in the heat. Leave the
eggs in the water six minutes, then transfer
to cups or glasses. Eggs cooked thus are of
uniform softness throughout, and far more
wholesome than when boiled fast, long
enough to cook the whites into indigestible
toughness, leaving the yolks liquid.
WAFFLEs.-One quart of milk, one quart
of sifted flour in which is mixed one even
teaspoonful of fine salt, three tablespoonful
of melted butte, half yeast cake, dissolved
sugar. Sift flour, salt and sugar into bowl,

milk and butter. Work down the flour from
the sides until all is smoothly mixed in, then
add the yeast, beaten in thoroughly. Set
to rise over night; early in the morning put
in the beaten eggs, whip hard, and let the
batter rise half an hour longer before baking
it in well-greased waffle-irons.

Peat for Locomotives.

In Russia, ON the Northern railways. the
locomotives hitherto burning wood or coal
are being adapted for peat burning, the saw
ing being estimated at some fifty per cent.
In many places the peat is cut by hand ma
chimes, but these, although cheap and easy
cannot be worked below eight feet, whereas
the peat-cutting machines worked by steam
power penetrate twenty feet, and reach the
lower, denser layers OF peat, which, owing
to their superior quality, command higher
price in the market.

ROYAL MUSICIANS.
Sovereigns Who Can Scrape Cat-Gut or
loot Horn.

Here are one or two interesting facts re-
specting the taste for music in the present
sovereigns of Europe. The Emperor of Ger
many, for instance, adores music, and
never misses an opportunity to hear Patti,
or any other celebrity. He always goes be-
hind the scenes after the performance to
thank the artists. Queen Victoria is also a
great amateur of music, and sings very well
herself She was pupil of Lablache, and
he used to say that if she were not Queen of
Great Britain she might be Queen OF Song.
The late Prince Consort's passion for music
is well known. 1t was he who made Men
delssohn known in England and protected
him. The Prince of Wales is also a good
musician, and the Princess of Wales ~ one
of Halle's best pupils The Duke of Edin-
burgh could earn his living with the violin
if necessary. The Emperor of Russia is a
first-class cornet player. He once accom-
panied Nilsson in one of her songs and not
long ago, when singing before him, she sang
the same air, much to the qualification Of
the Emperor The Queen of Belgium is a
devoted musician: The Emperor of Brazil
maintains an Italian opera out of his own
purse, and he has one Of the most complete
operate companies in the world. The EN-
peror of Austria, also, spends over million
of francs year on the Vienna Opera House.
ROssini used once to compose trifing mel
ody every year for the King of Portugal.
Everybody knows what a passion the late
King Louis of Bavaria had for music. King
Oscar of Sweden has a magnificent bassO
voice. and sings like an artist.-W Whitehall

A Dog That Talked just Like Man.

We know an old lake captain who is an
sinveterate reader of the serial papers. He
becomes deeply interested in story, and the
day when each fresh installment reaches him
is one of joy, At one time he was wrapped
up in lurid tale entitled 1.-THE Doge of
Venice" The last section of the story came,
he finished it, and in the excitement of the
climax threw the paper down and exclaimed (:

Paul rushed out of the room.
When Fanny saw her uncle climbing
into his old gig, as it he were pursued
by an enemy, she found it as impossi-
BILE to keep from laughing as it was to
keep from crying moment before.
And in this mood Fanny o O'Gorman
took her place in the old gig, and was
driven away from Ballycorrig as fast
as Brown Jack could, or wou}d-carry
her. But that is not saying much fol

All things considered, Father Paul
O'Gorman's evening party was great
success. Fanny, assisted by Kate Pur.
cell, managed everything so we'll that
sven the grand Mrs. Mooney was kept
in tolerable good humor. She did
show some symptoms of bouncing out
of the room when q certain young lady
entered it, but q judicious remark OF
Kate Purcell's about bracelet worn
by Mrs. Mooney, prevented the catas-
trophe. The Objectionable young lady
was the orphan daughter Of an old
friend of Father OHorman's, for whom
the good priest had procured sltua-
ton in millinery establishment in
X. The Miss Moloneys, too Uttered
audibly when the shop girl timidly
glided to seat half concealed by the
window hangings; but these young
ladies looked greatly astonished, not to
saw mortified when Brian Purcell en-
gagged the shop girl for the first quad
rifle. We raay remark that this young
lady is now the wife Of d respectable
trader, who has twice been elected
mayor of lis native town.
But what interests us most, is the
fact that Father Paul's plan was
crowned with success in one import
ant particular. His dear little Fanny
was really and truly made as happy as
a queen that memorable night.
How is this. Brian?' said Father
O'Gorman, on finding Mr.. Brian Purcell
all alone in the little parlor.'

himself. There is another song. But
ROW Brian as you are here, let US have
a quiet talk together. Something
must have occurred between you and
Fanny;ye don't appear to be che same
good friends. Now, what is it?'
Nothing: sir, I assure you----'
oh! now, be candid With ME In
fact, to make a long story short, what
do you think of her?'
L think Der worth her weight in
gold. SIR said Brian.
Aye, and in diamonds too,' added
Father Paul. But did you ever think
of her except as friend2'
This question encouraged Brian to
make full confessions; after which he
looked into che good priests face, and
said:
But would it be right, under the cir.
cumstances, to declare my love for her,
and try to win hers2 Her father-----'
'Fiddlesticks!' exclaimed Father
Paul. DO you think I'D bring her
down here if thought her father would
object?' And he repeated his CONVEX
sation with Fanny's father the evening
of their arrival in Dublin.

hearted old priest, holdingout his hand
to Brian. I think may congratulate
